As Maverick fans wait for the return of Anthony Davis, the centerpiece of the blockbuster trade last month, the growth of Max Christie has been an interesting subplot.
The 6-6 guard left a magnificent first impression when he came out firing (and making) shots in his first couple of weeks as a Maverick.
Then, he hit a lull. And Christie said after the 130-125 loss Sunday to Philadelphia that he understands what the reasons were for his brief swoon.
“I had a stretch when I first got here when I was super confident, aggressive and assertive and things worked out well for me,” Christie said.
